Enter the EQE SUV – a midsize SUV that sits alongside the GLE and on first looks, seems to be the sweet spot in the segment. We drove one in Gulmarg, Kashmir last month and it was just as impressive as the landscape around us.

The EQE SUV is built on a be spoke EV platform and unlike the smaller EQB shares nothing with its internal combustion-engined counterpart, the GLE. It also looks vastly different with a very organic flowing shape that's mostly dictated by the wind tunnel. The headlights and closed grille are designed to look like a single piece. The sides have smooth curves and no edges. The rear has an extended light bar that stretches across the tail gate. The wheels are big 20 inches and they look good. The EQE is a big 2.5 tonne SUV measuring 4.8 meters in length, 1.9 metres in width and 1.7 metres in height, yet it has an impressive drag coefficient of just 0.25
